To add `<thead>` or `<tfoot>` elements to a table:

1. Right-click somewhere in the row you want to use as the table header or footer.
1. In the pop-up menu, select **Row → Row Properties**.
1. Under the **General** tab, use the **Row type** dropdown to select **Header** or **Footer**.
1. Optionally set the **Alignment** and **Height** fields.
1. Click **Ok**.

> **Body** is also available as a **Row type**, but Cascade CMS adds `<tbody>` tags automatically when you create a table, so you rarely need it.
